This paper examines two treaties between Bangladesh and India for sharing waters of the Ganges river and augmenting flow during lean season. Since the construction of the Farakka Barrage in India, Ganges water became the key source of conflict between the two nations. To address this conflict, over the last three decades, the two countries signed two treaties and two Memorandums of Understanding.

The almost two decade civil conflict in Sri Lanka has radically altered the economic and social conditions of the people in the north, with profound impacts on the environment, biological diversity and natural resources. Habitat destruction and the accompanying loss of wildlife are among the most common and far-reaching impacts of armed conflicts on the environment.

Concentrations of trace metals in the flesh of nine fish species commonly found in commercial
catches of a hydro-power reservoir in Sri Lanka (Victoria) were detected using the
Neutron Activation Technique. High concentrations of Al (37.8 - 208.0 μg•g-1 dry wt.) and Rb
(20.90 - 70.75 μg•g-1 dry wt.) were found in all nine species while the concentration of Zn
ranged from 20.29 to 92.00 μg•g-1 dry wt. but was found only in four species. Au was detected
in seven species but the concentration ranged from 0.004 to 0.043 μg•g-1 dry wt. The concentration
